First impression? This is really sweet. I can't form any impression on Beth, and given everything I'm being careful not to make any snap judgments. Here, all I see is a woman who struck up a conversation with a guy she had been seeing around. Which is neither a wonderful or horrible thing to do.
But, Hotch? That awkwardness? It's exactly how I imagined he'd be in the talking to women/dating area. (I mean women who don't fall under friend/coworker/fellow parent/people connected with the job) Because it's my belief that he's never had a serious relationship or any kind beyond Haley. No, I never believed he had anything going on or even any interest in Kate Joyner. So this is something he doesn't have much practice in.
I also like that it's an FBI triathlon. I don't know why, but it kind of makes it more believable. And, for all wondering when he has the time and if it takes away from time with Jack, I like that he says he only has 45 minutes a day. I think most people - even widower single fathers- get 45 minutes out of day that can be completely for them. I like that they aren't saying he has all this free time. No, he's working it in to his busy day.
I'm still in a wait and see as to the relationship. I haven't seen enough. But, this initial meet cute scene? It's adorable. Hotch is adorable. And, it is different from how he normally is (I mean the awkwardness) but given the situation, it still fits him.
Hotch is shy and surprised. Hayley has undoubtedly been the only woman in his life. We shall see. I like to see him smile, but should not be just to have a romance.
The scene was cute, i don't really hate her that much. I hope both he and Emily can be happy. After she adjusts fully to her life back at BAU I hope she can find someone and be happy. Maybe we will get a Morgan - Prentiss ship in season 8? Anyway, I love CM and will continue to support it.
I have to say I'm impressed but I'm learning to have faith in the writers to do it right. I like that Hotch was taken a back and a little awkward. :) Also that he squeezes in the training with only 45 minutes a day. We also don't know what distance triathlon he's doing so if its a sprint it is very plausible for him to train. I look forward to this episode.
The only nitpick thing that gets me, and its small, is that Triathlon season in the US runs from spring, some start as early as March, to end of November. The water and weather gets too cold, but maybe their Tris are in Florida or in South America? ;o)
I have enjoyed the season once I let go of my expectations (not exactly happy how they dealt with Prentiss) and enjoy the ride.
I love Beth so far (ha) and the scene was adorable, but she sure knew a lot about Hotch. That bothers me. Just saying......anything can happen on the show. :)

ReplyDeleteAwwww......that was kind of adorable. Can't wait to see the rest of the episode. : )
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a very cute scene between the two! And like Angela said, I also liked that he said he only has 45 minutes.

Thank you for the clip!
Love the video, Hotch look so adorable. I like Beth, she got guts, she likes Hotch and is not afraid to approach him.
ReplyDeleteat Kate, totally agree with you about expectations, as I said on twitter 'why not watch CM for what it is and not what I want it to be?'
That said, except for when Penelope was turn into a hostage negotiator ( that was dumb) I'm enjoying Season 7 :)
I love Beth so far (ha) and the scene was adorable, but she sure knew a lot about Hotch. That bothers me. Just saying......anything can happen on the show. :)
